I bought this about 2 years ago, when we first moved to Port St Lucie, from a local concrete garden statuary shop for 40$. It has No markings on it and is different from any of their other statues. Anyone have idea as to origin or maker?

I've never seen that one before. I have seen several cement garden Moai but not many Tiki. It's a cool one. No markings at all? Do you still have the name of the shop? It would be worth a call to see if they still sell them, or would be willing to divulge their supplier. I know several folks who would want one for their Tiki gardens, (that's with a small "g" Tiki Gardener) but the shipping on a heavy piece like that might be a killer.

It's cool, I have never seen it as a statue, but it seemed vaguely familiar...my Tiki memory did not fail me:
I had seen it as the "Fish God" T-shirt emblem in the Val-Surf store ad on page 239 in the Book of Tiki.

Now the name makes sense, the head dress could have been viewed as having fish scales.
I have the "Surf God" (goddess?) and the "War god" as little 10 inch plaster stautes.

Val Surf still exists as THE classic Surf shop in the valley. Guess this Tiki must have made it to California, too. No idea who designed it or made it, though.

Wow, that is a way cool piece! We have several Moai in our back yard ranging from 12" to 36" that we have found at various garden centers. This is one that I have never seen before, but would love to find. I want it, I want it, I want it!

This one weighs in at 24 pounds. Idon't see the place in my phone book. It is in Fr.Pierce on US1 and I don't remember their name. I'll try to find out and let you know more also if still avail.
It may take a few days.

After looking at the pics, it kinda looks an like the green Aloha Hut tiki mug which can be seen on page 45 of Duke Carter's Tiki Quest. If it only weighs 24lbs, is it hollow?

The place is: Al's Concrete Specialties Inc.
7790 So US Hwy #1
Port Saint Lucie, FL 34952
772-878-4960
www.alsconcrete.comCurrent price is $48.95 and he does ship anywhere in the US. The web site does not show much, but has their e-mail address. I explained to them that some Tiki Central members would be asking about the tiki, so see if they will discount it.
Good luck

They are advertising on their website that they also have a 60% lighter concrete that they can use. I wonder if they would be able to make the tiki out of that. It would make it cheaper to ship to say...Calif., K.C. or the Great White North Eh?
